Coleman gets thumbs up to face England

Wallabies enforcer Adam Coleman has been given the all clear to face England after coming through training unscathed in London.

The giant lock injured his thumb in Australia's win over Wales last weekend and sat out training in the early part of this week.

Coach Michael Cheika delayed finalising his team until the 26-year-old lineout linchpin had proved his fitness in the final hit-out at the team's base in Teddington ahead of Saturday's marquee fixture of the spring tour.

"He is not at 100 per cent. I would be lying if said he was 100 and you know I never lie," Cheika said.

"I would say he got through today pretty good, better than I thought, and we would not pick him if we did not think he could do his job. He is a tough lad."

Cheika has resisted the urge to make changes to the starting line-up that beat Wales last week.

Samu Kerevi keeps his spot in the centres with Karmichael Hunt to start on the bench despite playing the final 33 minutes in Cardiff.

"Karmichael had more of a challenge last week, but he and Samu did a nice job between two of them," Cheika said.
